Repair of automatic gates: what are the problems
Many barriers, equipped with automation, in our region work more than 15 years. For such a long time, even the most perfect equipment wears out, the parts need replacement. The applications for the repair of garage doors come to us regularly. Often local designs require the balancing of torsion springs. This operation should not be carried out independently: the cocked mechanism is dangerous. Charge the springs to our specialists.
To repair sectional gates for a long time it was not required, look after the traditional design. The axles of rollers, springs, intermediate loops of the sectional liner are subjected to increased wear. All moving and rubbing parts need to be lubricated in time; then your gates will work silently and without sharp jerks.
A common problem: the gate jammed, the canvas does not fall and does not go up anymore. This happens if the torsion spring is stretched, one of the cables breaks. Independently you do not restore the efficiency of the gate - you need to call specialists. Masters of our company will find a malfunction, repair and adjust the mechanism.
RESTORATION OF GATE OPERATION
In Simferopol, among orders for repair of the gate, rules for the adjustment and cleaning of sliding systems are often met. Common problems of sliding structures: creaking at work, awkward movement of the canvas. The problem is usually associated with the clogging of the rails or the upper guide beam (leaves, sand, dustfall under the moving shade). You should start with the preventive cleaning of the guides, but if the problem persists, you need to check the condition of the beam and support rollers: you may need a replacement.
If the blade does not move at all, the fault may be caused by the failure of photocells, the control unit, the end position switch. Our specialists will find mechanical damage and malfunctions in the automation, adjust the system, replace the worn parts. If the breakdown is significant, it may be necessary to dismantle the gate.
MALFUNCTIONS OF SWING GATES
Most rarely among the Simferopol residents, we receive applications for the repair of garage doors with swing doors. These are the most reliable designs with a minimum set of vulnerabilities and details. A typical problem with swing gates is the creak of loops. It is often enough to lubricate them through the process holes. If loosened, sagged or sagged, hinges can be adjusted. However, they are subjected to increased loads and most often completely wear out. Our masters cut old hooks and hang the doors again.
You can look for the obvious when you fix a garage door that does not close. Dirty garage door sensors, also known as infrared or photoelectric sensors, can cause sensors to weaken. Check that there are no obstructions, which is usually the case when the garage door goes down, does not come down completely or goes up immediately. Once the garage door sensor detects that something or someone is in its way, it stops to avoid doing damage. In other cases, the sensors located on each side of the garage do not align with each other, causing the door to go down. Cleaning, alignment or replacement of garage door sensors can help solve these problems.
The torsion springs are concentrated in a bar above the garage door opening; a garage door has a pair of torsion springs, one on each side of the center of the door. When the torsion spring breaks, the garage door will be uneven and will not close to the end. A broken torsion spring can also cause the garage door to not close or open completely. Replaces the broken torsion spring to solve this problem. When a torsion spring breaks, the other follows, therefore, changes the two each time one break. Be careful when handling or repairing torsion springs. They are very dangerous because they are under stress. People die or have mutilated by tightening and releasing these springs without following safety procedures and using the right tools.
An important cause for a garage door to fail is that the pulleys wear out. When the ball bearings break down, they cause the pulley to be scrapped. The rivets fail along with the pulley divisions, which causes the door cable to jam. Replace the worn pulleys to solve the problem.
